Netflix hit the jackpot with The Night Agent, which became the platform’s biggest hit of 2023 with 98.2 million cumulative views. The series, which received a solid 4 out of 5 ratings from viewers on AlloCiné, is returning for a second season, which is expected next month.
The second trailer, which was recently released during the Christmas NFL games on Netflix, gives a taste of what’s at stake.
Peter Sutherland (Gabriel Basso), promoted to Night Action operative, finds himself in a critical situation: a flaw in the system threatens national security.
When he embarks on an undercover investigation, his side is as dangerous as the enemies he hunts. Featuring intense action sequences, the trailer highlights an isolated and pressured hero.
Enemies in the shadows and the nuclear threat
The plot of this new season is based on a major crisis: the theft of an experimental weapon powerful enough to destroy Manhattan. The conspiracy has its roots in an internal leak.
The strained relationship between Peter and his new boss, Catherine Weaver, underscores the seriousness of the situation. “I will take care of myself. Shoot me or leave me– he says that he contained all his anger.
The stakes are raised as tensions between the members of the night’s operation escalate and a disaster looms that could turn things around for the United States. Elements that promise a complex study of the agency’s internal dynamics.
New faces, new alliances
This season introduces several main characters, starting with Katherine Weaver, played by Amanda Warren. An experienced leader, he plays a central role in Night Action’s strategic decisions.
Alongside him, characters such as Alice (Brittany Snow), Peter’s partner and mentor during his first nighttime mission, Marcus (Michael Malarkey), a military leader loyal to his dictator uncle, recently convicted of war crimes in The Hague, or at least Javad. (Keon Alexander), head of security for Iran’s mission to the United Nations, enriches this new season.
These additions heighten the international conspiracy, with characters whose motivations intertwine in unpredictable ways. The season also highlights difficult ethical decisions for the protagonists, starting with Peter, who is torn between loyalty and survival.
When is season 2 coming out?
The appointment is made: Season 2 begins on January 23, 2025 with 10 new episodes. Shot between Thailand and New York, this season promises a change of scenery while maintaining the style that helped make the first one so successful.
The date marks the fanfare return of the series, which should take its place among the staples of the Netflix catalog.
